In our first class, Ms Taylor ran us through some basic ballet steps. She seemed to think we already knew some ballet. “Grand plié,” instructed Ms Taylor. Along with my classmates, I began mine. “Class, I would like everyone to watch this girl do a grand plié.” The teacher pointed at me. My heart was racing. I ____14____ got into position and then performed a grand plié. Complete silence. All eyes were on me. “Now, class, this is a perfect example of what not to do,” Ms Taylor said. She raised her voice, stressing the word “not”. Red face. Eyes watering. A wave of ____15____ came over me. I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should give up. But my ____16____ wouldn’t allow it. As I lay in bed that night, I knew I was going back. I could do it. I kept practising day by day, week by week. Soon it was time for a show at our theater. Everyone could choose their favorite dance style to perform. I thought Ms Taylor was shocked that I chose to be in her ballet piece, but something inside me wanted to ____17____ I was good enough. Our performance turned out to be a huge success. Though I was not the best ballet dancer out there, I had the best time dancing on stage and put all my ____18____ into it, winning loud cheers. On the last day of this term, Ms Taylor said she had an announcement (通知) to make. “At the end of the term, I always like to award one student the Ballerina. This time, the award goes to Claire Foster. She had no ballet experience. However, she has shown such great ____19____, and I am truly proud of her.” In shock, I looked up towards Ms Taylor, who was smiling at me. I couldn’t believe my ears.

I tried to sit up, but after several days in hospital, I was still very weak. Now, I was in a care home, and I hated the idea of staying here until I became strong enough to return home. The two elderly women who were sharing my room made noise at night, so I couldn’t sleep well and often felt tired and upset. Luckily, there was one positive part about my stay at the care home: The food was good. I was thankful to have three tasty meals each day. “You gave me oatmeal (燕麦粥) again. Thanks for remembering it’s my favorite breakfast!” I told the young woman. She looked surprised. “Actually, we cook oatmeal for everyone every morning, but nobody has ever told me they like it. Usually, they are complaining (抱怨) about the food,” she said. Her words touched me. I wanted to encourage her and her coworkers. I quickly wrote a short note praising the meal and gave it to her. She read my note and smiled widely. “I’ll show this to everyone in the kitchen,” she said. An idea came to me. I decided that I would write a positive and encouraging note to the kitchen workers after every meal. I soon discovered that working on these notes got my mind off my illness and my noisy roommates. It also gave me something to look forward to. Each morning, afternoon, and evening, I enjoyed seeing the joy on the faces of the workers when they noticed my thank-you notes on the trays. When I was ready to leave, the director of food services came to say goodbye. “Miss Carter, we’ve kept all your notes. Your comments have touched and encouraged us all. Thank you so much for recognizing our hard work!” I smiled. Although my stay had not been easy, writing those notes had given me something positive to do. I planned to continue writing thank-you notes whenever I had the chance. Taking the time to thank others had become a daily habit for me. And, for that, I was very thankful. 24. How did Miss Carter feel at the beginning of her stay in the care home? A. Relaxed. B. Satisfied. C. Unhappy. D. Afraid. 25. Seeing that the note made the young woman happy, Miss Carter decided to ________. A. meet the director of food services B. stop complaining about her roommates C. go to the kitchen to express her thanks in person D. write a note to the kitchen workers after each meal 26. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Warming others also warms our own hearts. B. A good relationship depends on trust. C. A kind smile spreads positive energy. D. Sharing happiness doubles it. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Miss Carter在康复中心住院期间，通过写感谢便条鼓励厨房员工，自己也从中获得力量与快乐的故事。 【24题详解】 根据第二段“I hated the idea of staying here...often felt tired and upset.”，说明Miss Carter起初在疗养院的感觉是不开心的。 【25题详解】 根据第七段“I decided that I would write a positive and encouraging note to the kitchen workers after every meal.”，说明看到纸条让年轻女子高兴后，她决定每餐后都写纸条。 【26题详解】 文章讲述了Miss Carter通过写感谢信鼓励厨房工作人员，使工作人员感到被认可，同时这一行为也让她自己忘记了病痛和烦恼，找到了积极的事情做。这体现了温暖他人的同时也温暖了自己。 C Human language allows us to learn new words for things we’ve never seen directly. We do this naturally, for example, using context clues (语境线索) in conversations to work out a new word’s meaning. But how early does this ability develop? And what makes it possible? Researchers tested 134 babies, 67 each at 12 months and 15 months, in a three-part task. First, the researchers presented babies with words they understood, paired with a picture of the object that each word referred to (所指) (e.g. apple, banana, grapes). Next, babies heard a new word while the picture of a novel object (e.g. a kumquat) was hidden from their view. Finally, two novel objects appeared (e.g. a kumquat and a whisk) and babies were asked, e.g. “where is the kumquat?” Fifteen-month-olds, but not 12-month-olds, looked longer at the novel fruit (e.g. kumquat) than the novel tool (e.g. whisk). Although they had never seen any object paired with that novel word, 15-month-olds still used the context clues to work out which object was most likely the one to which the novel word referred. The study shows that even babies who are just beginning to say their first words learn from the language they hear, even if the objects or events being discussed are not present. The researchers suggest that at 12 months, babies may not yet know enough of the familiar words they hear in the context to form an idea of the new word’s meaning (e.g. that it is likely another fruit). The study provides new understanding of the early development of the human ability to learn about things that are not directly seen. It also begins to address how, and how early, the human mind can create ideas of objects and events never seen directly. This new work also highlights the power of language in babies’ daily lives. In listening to conversations and in book-reading, babies often hear words that they don’t yet understand, and that they cannot “map” immediately to an object or event. The results of this study show that by 15 months, babies naturally use the context in which a new word appears to form an idea of its meaning that will support later learning. Next time we hear new words like “kumquat” in conversation when there are no kumquats around, we won’t waste the chance to home in on its meaning, and we now know that this is also true of young babies. 27. In the study, the babies ________. A. needed to name the novel objects B. pointed to the novel objects after hearing their names C. picked out the object that was different from the others D. heard a new word without seeing the picture of the object 28. What does the study suggest about early language learning? A. Direct word-object matching is necessary. B. Daily conversations are less effective than book-reading. C. 12-month-olds can use language clues as well as 15-month-olds. D. 15-month-olds can build the meaning of new words from context. 29. How is the passage organized? A. Question→Exploration→Result→Meaning B. Problem→Research→Findings→Application C. Problem→Discussion→Solution→Improvement D. Question→Comparison→Explanation→Judgement 【答案】27. D 28. D 29. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕人类依托语境线索习得生词的能力展开，介绍相关婴儿实验、研究结果与研究意义。 【27题详解】 根据原文第二段中“Next, babies heard a new word while the picture of a novel object (e.g. a kumquat) was hidden from their view.”提到实验中婴儿听到新单词时，对应的物品图片是被遮挡看不见的。 【28题详解】 根据原文“by 15 months, babies naturally use the context in which a new word appears to form an idea of its meaning”提到15个月大的宝宝可以依靠上下文揣摩生词含义。 【29题详解】 文章开头提出两个问题（能力何时发展、成因是什么）→ 介绍婴儿对照实验（探究过程）→ 阐述实验结果、研究发现 → 说明研究带来的启示与现实意义，整体结构为Question–Exploration–Result–Meaning，对应A选项。 D We are curious. We spend much of our waking lives searching for information. Some researchers have suggested curiosity is its own drive, like hunger or thirst. The idea is that, since it’s hard to know what piece of information might help us in the future, humans developed a drive to search for information and keep it in case it later becomes useful. But this infophilia raises a question: if we like information so much, why don’t we look for more of it? When someone first starts learning about a field, they’ll show interest in it only if something external (e.g., a teacher) draws their attention. As a learner develops more of a connected body of knowledge, they’re able to ground new learnings in that conceptual framework (概念框架), and their interest becomes more internally (内在地) driven. Imagine picking up a textbook on the history of a country you know little about. It mentions historical people, cities, and neighbouring states. Even if you look at maps, you’ll find it difficult to keep up with the topic. The effort may not seem worth it. So a lack (缺乏) of curiosity in some areas may simply result from the difficulty of mastering the concepts. This connects with research on how people enjoy art. People are more drawn to art when it’s more complex (复杂的) — but only up to a point. Yet viewers with knowledge of art are able to manage more complexity, and so prefer more complex artwork. People are drawn towards the right balance between complexity and their own ability to deal with that complexity. Researchers also talk about curiosity as a drive to fill gaps (空白) in our knowledge. When we notice a gap, we feel the drive to fill it. If there isn’t a gap, but rather a total lack of knowledge, we don’t feel the same need. Our hunger for information is directed towards information that we have the conceptual framework to understand. All of this might explain why we don’t explore the questions that are unfamiliar or too difficult. But some of the objects around us are relatively simple. Why don’t we explore them? Part of the answer is habituation: they are so familiar that we feel nothing special about them. In some cases, questions go unnoticed because we think we already know the answer. However, if we think deeper about them, we’ll realize our understanding is incomplete and surface-level. What this means, though, is that there are missed chances all around us to learn more about the world. Sometimes, it may just require paying more attention to what’s around us, and honestly asking ourselves whether we truly understand it. 30. What does “this infophilia” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The drive to use information. B. The effort to study information. C. The love of looking for information. D. The interest in keeping information. 31. The examples in Paragraphs 4 and 5 suggest ________. A. people’s curiosity differs across fields B. curiosity is influenced by the level of difficulty C. external guidance can help develop internal interest D. the ability to deal with complexity can be improved 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. Simple objects are easier to catch our attention. B. Familiarity may hide how poorly we understand things. C. Gaps in knowledge can naturally bring about curiosity. D. Curiosity is independent of what we have already known. 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Some Things Fail to Interest Us B. The Hidden Power of Missed Chances C. How People Learn to Understand the World D. The Connection Between Curiosity and Ability 【答案】30. C 31. B 32. B 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍好奇心的来源，剖析很多事物无法勾起我们好奇心的各类原因。 【30题详解】 首段指出“humans developed a drive to search for information and keep it”，人类天生有搜寻信息的本能，画线词后句“if we like information so much”表明infophilia指代喜爱搜寻信息。 【31题详解】 第四、五段用陌生国别历史、艺术鉴赏举例，说明内容难度过高时人们易丧失好奇，好奇心受难度影响。 【32题详解】 倒数第二段指出“they are so familiar that we feel nothing special about them. In some cases, questions go unnoticed because we think we already know the answer. However, if we think deeper about them, we’ll realize our understanding is incomplete and surface-level”，熟悉的事物容易掩盖我们浅薄的认知。 【33题详解】 全文围绕问题：明明人天生好奇，为什么很多事物无法勾起我们的好奇心并分层分析原因，标题选为什么有些事物无法吸引我们。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 While many teenagers use AI for homework or socializing, Alvin Tian, a 13-year-old eighth-grader, is using it to make a difference in people’s lives. His project, SafeGuard, a fall detection device (探测设备), won first prize at the 2025 Scientific Exploration Award, along with a cash prize of $30,000, part of which he has already used to improve the project. Alvin got the idea from his grandmother’s fall. “A few years ago, my grandma sadly fell in the kitchen, and nobody noticed immediately,” Alvin said. “By the time help arrived, she had suffered serious brain damage (伤害).” After that, Alvin felt driven to find a way to help not just his family, but the millions of older adults who suffer from falls each year. To address this problem, Alvin developed a camera-based monitoring device connected to a small computer. The device uses AI to detect when a person falls in real time. Once a fall is detected, it immediately sends warnings to the person’s family members’ phones. Unlike wearable devices, SafeGuard does not require users to charge (充电) or wear it. Instead, it works through a camera connected to a computer. Users simply place the camera on the wall, and it operates continuously. Moreover, no video is recorded or uploaded, which helps protect users’ privacy. “Alvin did all of the programming and design work himself,” said James Anderson, a robotics and AI specialist. “I liked that his project had an emotional (情感的) connection to his life and practical value.” When asked what he was most proud of, Alvin didn’t mention the prize, the title, or the media attention. Instead, he pointed back to the device itself, which hung on the wall behind him. “I’m really proud of how much my device improved from the very start,” he said. “From a camera, to a mounted device, to an app — each model improved on the one before. It costs about $90 in materials, and I am working to reduce the cost by using a different computer. This would make the device affordable or even free for anyone who needs it. I will just keep working until I have a final product.” 34. What made Alvin get the idea to create SafeGuard? __________________________________________________ 35. What does SafeGuard do when a fall is detected? __________________________________________________ 36. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? __________________________________________________ 37. What do you think of Alvin? Why do you think so? (Give two points and explain each with one reason.) __________________________________________________ 【答案】34. His grandmother’s fall. 35. It sends warnings to the person’s family members’ phones. 36. The advantages of SafeGuard. 37. He is caring and creative. Because he wanted to help older adults and he developed the device himself. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了13岁学生Alvin Tian受祖母跌倒启发，发明防跌倒设备SafeGuard并获得奖项的故事。 【34题详解】 根据文章第3段“Alvin got the idea from his grandmother’s fall.”可知，是祖母的跌倒让他有了创造SafeGuard的想法。 【35题详解】 根据文章第4段“Once a fall is detected, it immediately sends warnings to the person’s family members’ phones.”可知，检测到跌倒后设备会发送警告。 【36题详解】 根据文章第5段“Unlike wearable devices, SafeGuard does not require users to charge or wear it.”及本段后续关于隐私保护的描述可知，本段主要介绍该设备的优势。 【37题详解】 根据文章第3段“Alvin felt driven to find a way to help not just his family, but the millions of older adults who suffer from falls each year.”及第6段“Alvin did all of the programming and design work himself”可知，他既关爱他人又富有创造力。 五、文段表达（10 分） 38．从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示,完成一篇不少于 50 词的英语文段写作。文中已给出的内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 题目1 38. 假设你是李华，你校将开展为期一天的研学活动。英语社团公众号正在就研学地点征集意见。请你在英语社团公众号留言，介绍你最想去的研学地点并说明理由。 提示词语： explore, understand, skill, science, amazing 内容提示：• Where would you like to go for the study trip? • Why do you want to go there?

However, she has shown such great ____19____, and I am truly proud of her.” In shock, I looked up towards Ms Taylor, who was smiling at me. I couldn’t believe my ears.

I tried to sit up, but after several days in hospital, I was still very weak. Now, I was in a care home, and I hated the idea of staying here until I became strong enough to return home. The two elderly women who were sharing my room made noise at night, so I couldn’t sleep well and often felt tired and upset. Luckily, there was one positive part about my stay at the care home: The food was good. I was thankful to have three tasty meals each day. “You gave me oatmeal (燕麦粥) again. Thanks for remembering it’s my favorite breakfast!” I told the young woman. She looked surprised. “Actually, we cook oatmeal for everyone every morning, but nobody has ever told me they like it. Usually, they are complaining (抱怨) about the food,” she said. Her words touched me. I wanted to encourage her and her coworkers. I quickly wrote a short note praising the meal and gave it to her. She read my note and smiled widely. “I’ll show this to everyone in the kitchen,” she said. An idea came to me. I decided that I would write a positive and encouraging note to the kitchen workers after every meal. I soon discovered that working on these notes got my mind off my illness and my noisy roommates. It also gave me something to look forward to. Each morning, afternoon, and evening, I enjoyed seeing the joy on the faces of the workers when they noticed my thank-you notes on the trays. When I was ready to leave, the director of food services came to say goodbye. “Miss Carter, we’ve kept all your notes. Your comments have touched and encouraged us all. Thank you so much for recognizing our hard work!” I smiled. Although my stay had not been easy, writing those notes had given me something positive to do. I planned to continue writing thank-you notes whenever I had the chance. Taking the time to thank others had become a daily habit for me. And, for that, I was very thankful. 24. How did Miss Carter feel at the beginning of her stay in the care home? A. Relaxed. B. Satisfied. C. Unhappy. D. Afraid. 25. Seeing that the note made the young woman happy, Miss Carter decided to ________. A. meet the director of food services B. stop complaining about her roommates C. go to the kitchen to express her thanks in person D. write a note to the kitchen workers after each meal 26. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Warming others also warms our own hearts. B. A good relationship depends on trust. C. A kind smile spreads positive energy. D. Sharing happiness doubles it. C Human language allows us to learn new words for things we’ve never seen directly. We do this naturally, for example, using context clues (语境线索) in conversations to work out a new word’s meaning. But how early does this ability develop? And what makes it possible? Researchers tested 134 babies, 67 each at 12 months and 15 months, in a three-part task. First, the researchers presented babies with words they understood, paired with a picture of the object that each word referred to (所指) (e.g. apple, banana, grapes). Next, babies heard a new word while the picture of a novel object (e.g. a kumquat) was hidden from their view. Finally, two novel objects appeared (e.g. a kumquat and a whisk) and babies were asked, e.g. “where is the kumquat?” Fifteen-month-olds, but not 12-month-olds, looked longer at the novel fruit (e.g. kumquat) than the novel tool (e.g. whisk). Although they had never seen any object paired with that novel word, 15-month-olds still used the context clues to work out which object was most likely the one to which the novel word referred. The study shows that even babies who are just beginning to say their first words learn from the language they hear, even if the objects or events being discussed are not present. The researchers suggest that at 12 months, babies may not yet know enough of the familiar words they hear in the context to form an idea of the new word’s meaning (e.g. that it is likely another fruit). The study provides new understanding of the early development of the human ability to learn about things that are not directly seen. It also begins to address how, and how early, the human mind can create ideas of objects and events never seen directly. This new work also highlights the power of language in babies’ daily lives. In listening to conversations and in book-reading, babies often hear words that they don’t yet understand, and that they cannot “map” immediately to an object or event. The results of this study show that by 15 months, babies naturally use the context in which a new word appears to form an idea of its meaning that will support later learning. Next time we hear new words like “kumquat” in conversation when there are no kumquats around, we won’t waste the chance to home in on its meaning, and we now know that this is also true of young babies. 27. In the study, the babies ________. A. needed to name the novel objects B. pointed to the novel objects after hearing their names C. picked out the object that was different from the others D. heard a new word without seeing the picture of the object 28. What does the study suggest about early language learning? A. Direct word-object matching is necessary. B. Daily conversations are less effective than book-reading. C. 12-month-olds can use language clues as well as 15-month-olds. D. 15-month-olds can build the meaning of new words from context. 29. How is the passage organized? A. Question→Exploration→Result→Meaning B. Problem→Research→Findings→Application C. Problem→Discussion→Solution→Improvement D. Question→Comparison→Explanation→Judgement D We are curious. We spend much of our waking lives searching for information. Some researchers have suggested curiosity is its own drive, like hunger or thirst. The idea is that, since it’s hard to know what piece of information might help us in the future, humans developed a drive to search for information and keep it in case it later becomes useful. But this infophilia raises a question: if we like information so much, why don’t we look for more of it? When someone first starts learning about a field, they’ll show interest in it only if something external (e.g., a teacher) draws their attention. As a learner develops more of a connected body of knowledge, they’re able to ground new learnings in that conceptual framework (概念框架), and their interest becomes more internally (内在地) driven. Imagine picking up a textbook on the history of a country you know little about. It mentions historical people, cities, and neighbouring states. Even if you look at maps, you’ll find it difficult to keep up with the topic. The effort may not seem worth it. So a lack (缺乏) of curiosity in some areas may simply result from the difficulty of mastering the concepts. This connects with research on how people enjoy art. People are more drawn to art when it’s more complex (复杂的) — but only up to a point. Yet viewers with knowledge of art are able to manage more complexity, and so prefer more complex artwork. People are drawn towards the right balance between complexity and their own ability to deal with that complexity. Researchers also talk about curiosity as a drive to fill gaps (空白) in our knowledge. When we notice a gap, we feel the drive to fill it. If there isn’t a gap, but rather a total lack of knowledge, we don’t feel the same need. Our hunger for information is directed towards information that we have the conceptual framework to understand. All of this might explain why we don’t explore the questions that are unfamiliar or too difficult. But some of the objects around us are relatively simple. Why don’t we explore them? Part of the answer is habituation: they are so familiar that we feel nothing special about them. In some cases, questions go unnoticed because we think we already know the answer. However, if we think deeper about them, we’ll realize our understanding is incomplete and surface-level. What this means, though, is that there are missed chances all around us to learn more about the world. Sometimes, it may just require paying more attention to what’s around us, and honestly asking ourselves whether we truly understand it. 30. What does “this infophilia” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The drive to use information. B. The effort to study information. C. The love of looking for information. D. The interest in keeping information. 31. The examples in Paragraphs 4 and 5 suggest ________. A. people’s curiosity differs across fields B. curiosity is influenced by the level of difficulty C. external guidance can help develop internal interest D. the ability to deal with complexity can be improved 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. Simple objects are easier to catch our attention. B. Familiarity may hide how poorly we understand things. C. Gaps in knowledge can naturally bring about curiosity. D. Curiosity is independent of what we have already known. 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Some Things Fail to Interest Us B. The Hidden Power of Missed Chances C. How People Learn to Understand the World D. The Connection Between Curiosity and Ability 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 While many teenagers use AI for homework or socializing, Alvin Tian, a 13-year-old eighth-grader, is using it to make a difference in people’s lives. His project, SafeGuard, a fall detection device (探测设备), won first prize at the 2025 Scientific Exploration Award, along with a cash prize of $30,000, part of which he has already used to improve the project. Alvin got the idea from his grandmother’s fall. “A few years ago, my grandma sadly fell in the kitchen, and nobody noticed immediately,” Alvin said. “By the time help arrived, she had suffered serious brain damage (伤害).” After that, Alvin felt driven to find a way to help not just his family, but the millions of older adults who suffer from falls each year. To address this problem, Alvin developed a camera-based monitoring device connected to a small computer. The device uses AI to detect when a person falls in real time. Once a fall is detected, it immediately sends warnings to the person’s family members’ phones. Unlike wearable devices, SafeGuard does not require users to charge (充电) or wear it. Instead, it works through a camera connected to a computer. Users simply place the camera on the wall, and it operates continuously. Moreover, no video is recorded or uploaded, which helps protect users’ privacy. “Alvin did all of the programming and design work himself,” said James Anderson, a robotics and AI specialist. “I liked that his project had an emotional (情感的) connection to his life and practical value.” When asked what he was most proud of, Alvin didn’t mention the prize, the title, or the media attention. Instead, he pointed back to the device itself, which hung on the wall behind him. “I’m really proud of how much my device improved from the very start,” he said. “From a camera, to a mounted device, to an app — each model improved on the one before. It costs about $90 in materials, and I am working to reduce the cost by using a different computer. This would make the device affordable or even free for anyone who needs it. I will just keep working until I have a final product.” 34. What made Alvin get the idea to create SafeGuard? __________________________________________________ 35. What does SafeGuard do when a fall is detected? __________________________________________________ 36. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? __________________________________________________ 37. What do you think of Alvin? Why do you think so?
