The International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) is a competition for pre-university students, held in a different country each year since 2003. It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you.
A Puzzle
The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations:
ბრაზილია Brazil
პერუ Peru
ურუგვაი Uruguay
Q: What is the English name of this country “არგენტინა”?
The Solution
·The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match.
·The repeated-U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right.
·“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: რ → R, ა → A, გ → G, ე → E.
·With these letters, the pattern არგენტინა can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina”.
Contest Rules
·Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins.
·The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less.
·Unless instructed, giving multiple (多样的) answers will receive zero marks. Besides, a detailed explanation is required for each answer; failure to provide one will result in a lower score.
Awards
The team contest will award up to one gold, two silver, and three bronze medals. In the individual contest, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1:2:3, with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants.

How can classic literary works stay lively in the digital age? A 17-year-old high school student from Chengdu, Sichuan, named Wu Yaduo, has found a wonderful way to answer this question.
Using her iPad and creative drawing skills, Wu turns stories from famous classics into hand-drawn animated (动画的) videos. These works include well-known books like A Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin and The Peony Pavilion, as well as life stories of famous poets such as Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. Her videos have won tens of thousands of followers online and got millions of views. Wu thinks these classics are timeless because they talk about human emotions and social themes that never go out of date.
However, she notices many students are not interested in these works just because they have to learn them for school. So Wu wants to bridge the gap between classics and modern life, making them more relatable and interesting for young people. Therefore, she usually chooses texts from her high school Chinese textbooks as the starting point.
In her creations, Wu combines text and sound cleverly. For example, one of her works about A Dream of Red Mansions was inspired by a sad song from an indie band (独立乐队). She drew the flourishing Daguanyuan, or the Grand View Garden, and the sad scene of the family’s downfall at the same time to create a strong emotional impact. Unlike traditional story-telling, her videos are full of bright colors and appealing visual effects, as she loves experimental movies and artworks.
Though Wu has received much support, she feels sorry that she can’t perfectly turn the images in her mind into drawings. But she still looks forward to creating more works to bring classics closer to daily life.
4. What do we know about Wu Yaduo’s animated videos of classic works?
A. She pays more attention to sound than visuals.
B. She depends on traditional tools to make the videos.
C. She takes band songs as her only creative inspirations.
D. She uses digital tools and drawing skills to show classics.
5. Why does Wu Yaduo use materials from Chinese textbooks in her works?
A. To choose the easiest content for animations.
B. To arouse students’ interest in classic literary works.
C. To show the importance of classics in school education.
D. To help students finish Chinese learning tasks more easily.
6. Which of the following best describes Wu Yaduo’s animated videos?
A. Creative and lively. B. Plain and thoughtful.
C. Serious and traditional. D. Popular and comic.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Digital technology brings traditional literature into daily life.
B. A student gains online popularity by creating digital videos.
C. Many modern students show little interest in classic literature.
D. A student makes hand-drawn animations to link classics with youth.

Some are taking up knitting (编织). Others are growing flowers or going fishing. These days, such hobbies are no longer old-fashioned. For Gen Z has decided that the pastimes of retired people are rather pleasing.
According to Eventbrite, a global events marketplace, baking and bingo are on the rise. In Britain attendance at flower-arranging classes almost increased four times between 2023 and 2025; in America there were two and a half times more puzzle competitions.
“Grannycore” — as youngsters call the trend as the traditional art taste — is not limited to entertainment. Gen Zers respect their elders’ taste in home decoration and fashion. Some are even holidaying like old people: Gen Z and millennials (千禧一代) are just as enthusiastic about cruises (游轮度假) as retirees, according to the Cruise Lines International Association. On TikTok youngsters were against the idea that “cruises are for old people” and say they are “the most convenient way to travel”
Why do the young seem so old at heart? Gen Z “really embraces the old things” and wants to experience things “they never got to experience”, says Rudi Greenberg, Eventbrite’s head of management and trends. Psychologists call such desiring “anemoia”: in an era of flashy screens and endless apps, youngsters look through rose-colored glasses at such dull things as repairing an old pair of socks, or meeting weekly to craft or embroider (刺绣).
Martina Vintaloro, the founder of London Creative Gals, notes that 90% of attendees come alone to meet “like-minded girls”. On a recent mid-week evening they were longing to get off their phones, gathered to paint pottery, many slowly enjoying soft drinks not wines.
In such environments, socialising can feel “slower, a little more grounded”, argues Mr Greenberg, perhaps a reminder of “conversations with your Grandma”. The hobbies can also improve well-being: “Happiness from One Stitch (针) at a Time”, a course run by psychologists, praises the healing advantages of knitting. As one fan of the old-timey trend recently put it: “Grandmas’ ideas actually make sense.”
8. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. “Grannycore” has become a worldwide fashion trend.
B. Statistical evidence proves the rise of old-style hobbies.
C. Eventbrite is committed to promoting traditional pastimes.
D. British and American youth share the same hobby preferences.
9. What does the underlined word “anemoia” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A desire for past experiences one has never had.
B. A protest to modern digital technology.
C. A love for traditional handmade activities.
D. A preference for elders’ decoration and fashion.
10. Why do members of London Creative Gals enjoy craft gatherings?
A. To keep up with the latest “Grannycore” fashion.
B To learn professional crafting skills from experts.
C. To completely stay away from social media pressures.
D. To make like-minded friends and seek mental relaxation.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Cruises are less appealing to retirees than Gen Z.
B. Gen Z has given up using digital devices entirely.
C. Traditional hobbies help promote Gen Z’s mental well-being.
D. “Grannycore” only covers entertainment and fashion fields.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了当下Z世代流行“奶奶风”,热衷老一辈的传统休闲爱好,并分析了这一潮流兴起的原因及其带来的积极影响。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“According to Eventbrite, a global events marketplace, baking and bingo are on the rise. In Britain attendance at flower-arranging classes almost increased four times between 2023 and 2025; in America there were two and a half times more puzzle competitions.(据全球活动市场Eventbrite称,烘焙和宾果游戏正在兴起。在英国,插花班的参与人数在2023年至2025年间几乎增长了四倍;在美国,拼图比赛的数量增加了两倍半。)”可知,本段列举多项数据,证明传统老式爱好正在兴起。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Gen Z “really embraces the old things” and wants to experience things “they never got to experience”, says Rudi Greenberg, Eventbrite’s head of management and trends. Psychologists call such desiring “ anemoia” (Eventbrite的管理与趋势主管Rudi Greenberg说,Z世代“真的拥抱旧事物”,想要体验“他们从未体验过”的东西。心理学家称这种欲望为“anemoia”。)”可知,anemoia指渴望拥有自己从未有过的过往体验。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“90% of attendees come alone to meet “like-minded girls”. On a recent mid-week evening they were longing to get off their phones, gathered to paint pottery, many slowly enjoying soft drinks not wines.(90%的参与者都是单独来找“志同道合的女孩”。在最近的一个周中晚上,他们渴望放下手机,聚在一起画陶器,许多人慢慢地喝着软饮料,而不是葡萄酒。)”可知,她们参加手工聚会是为了结交志趣相投的朋友,并获得精神放松。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The hobbies can also improve well-being: “Happiness from One Stitch at a Time”, a course run by psychologists, praises the healing advantages of knitting. (这些爱好还可以提高幸福感:心理学家开设的“一次一针的快乐”课程,赞扬了编织的治疗优势。)”可推知,传统爱好有助于促进年轻人的心理健康。

When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets.
Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective.
To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow”, in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100,000 times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds.
According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably (可持续地), especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology.
12. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve?
A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The lack of clean electricity sources.
C. The inefficiency of charge harvesting. D. The damage of traditional hydropower.
13. Which of the following best shows “plug flow”?
A. B. C. D.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the model?
A. Its potential cost in urban areas. B. Its promising use in green energy.
C. Its complex design for rain power. D. Its practical need for more devices.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops B. Immediate Demand for Sustainable Energy
C. Capturing Raindrops Through Creation D. Turning Charge Separation into Electricity
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍新加坡科研人员利用雨滴实现发电,讲解相关装置原理、优势以及该技术的发展前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective.(通过这种方式,研究人员可以收集电荷,但这远远达不到理想效果)”以及第三段中的“To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device.(为了解决这个问题,新加坡国立大学团队打造了一款特殊装置)”可知,研究人员想要解决电荷收集效率低下的问题。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow”, in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps.(当这些水滴进入管道,撞击形成“塞流”,水流形成被空气间隙隔开的细小水柱)”可知,塞流的特点是水柱之间存在空气间隔,D项图片符合该描述。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably... Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities.(该模型展示了雨水如何被高效且可持续地用来产生清洁电力。它潜力巨大,即便在城市中也能提供一种替代能源)”可知,本段主要讲述该装置在绿色能源领域拥有良好的应用前景。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets.(同样,雨滴撞击细管会产生微小却可观的能量。如今,新加坡国立大学的研究人员利用这一效应,借助类雨滴来发电)”以及第三段介绍发电原理、最后一段介绍技术前景可知,全文围绕利用雨滴发电这一创新技术展开。A选项“来自雨滴的创新能源”最贴合文章主旨,适合作标题。

Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
____16____ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write continuously for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay relaxed and free. ____17____ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
Write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ____18____ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱的) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle — as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
Print out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ____19____ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their drafts and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text to triple-space. ____20____
A. Try non-stop writing.
B. Practice quiet writing.
C. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
D. The second draft of the essay should be better.
E. The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
F. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
G. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了韩国延世大学的科学家研发出一种新型杂交水稻,它颜色呈肉粉色,富含牛肉蛋白质和脂肪细胞,有望成为肉类的可持续替代品,同时还介绍了该水稻目前的情况及未来科学家的研究计划。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:大米已经是自然界中最有营养的食物之一,但由于一些科学“魔法”,它可能很快会成为肉类的一种可持续替代品。replacement为可数名词单数,此处泛指“一种可持续的替代品”,且sustainable是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【37题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:这种新的杂交谷物比天然谷物更坚硬,煮熟后仍保持其传统外观。此处为when引导的时间状语从句的省略形式,完整形式为when they are cooked,当主从句主语一致且从句含有be动词时,可省略从句的主语和be动词,此处省略后保留过去分词cooked。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:虽然这种新大米尝起来还不像牛肉,但它确实提供了一种令人愉快的类似肉的风味体验。此处修饰名词flavor experience,应用形容词enjoyable,意为“令人愉快的”。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由于含有动物细胞,这种新的粉色大米有朝一日可能独自成为一顿完整的饭,确保为全世界提供充足、可持续的食物供应。此处为非谓语动词作状语,ensure与逻辑主语this new pink rice之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“想象一下从细胞培养的蛋白质大米中获得我们所需的所有营养,”该研究的共同作者朴素贤说。imagine doing sth.为固定用法,意为“想象做某事”,所以此处用动名词obtaining。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:他说,该团队对不同类型的食品进行了实验,从中他们获得了很多了解,但他们得到的模型并不成功。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,先行词为different types of food products,根据句意“从这些食品实验中获得了解”可知,表示“从……中”应用介词from。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:未来,科学家们计划使用可在实验室中维持的可持续细胞供应。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词为sustainable supplies of cells,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which或that。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:目前,这种杂交水稻中的蛋白质含量仍然相当低。此处修饰形容词low,应用副词fairly,意为“相当地”。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:所以他们也在探索将这种大米与其他种类的肉或鱼混合的可能性,以满足不同的口味。空处作动词exploring的宾语,且被定冠词修饰,提示词的名词形式possibility“可能性”符合。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了真正替代肉类,研究人员需要大幅提高这种大米的蛋白质含量。此处为非谓语动词作目的状语,应用动词不定式,位于句首,首字母需大写。

【答案】【参考范文1】
E-dictionary Pens; A Helpful Tool
I’m in favour of using e-dictionary pens in class because they are truly a helpful tool for struggling English learners like me.
Below are the reasons. For starters, they can increase our English learning efficiency significantly. When we encounter a new word, a quick scan instantly offers us all that we need, which saves us plenty of time spent consulting heavy paper dictionaries. Plus, their accurate native pronunciation makes it much easier to improve our spoken English, ensuring we become all-round English learners.
Used wisely and properly, I do believe e-dictionary pens shall become our exceptional learning partners.
【参考范文2】
Think Twice Before You Scan
On a personal note, I don’t assume e-dictionary pens should be used freely in class. And the reasons are as follows.
For one thing, they can have a great negative influence on our thinking ability. If we check every unfamiliar word we come across while reading instantly, we will lose the ability of guessing meanings from context. However, it is a key reading skill that we are intended to possess. For another thing, the click sound or screen light may disturb other classmates, disrupting the learning atmosphere.
Language learning requires patience and active thinking, not a quick fix. Sometimes, struggling with a word actually helps us remember it better. Therefore, I suggest using them rationally.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mother’s gift
I grew up in a small town where it was a ten-minute walk from my house to the primary school. When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.
When I was in the third grade, I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped on the stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白员的) part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with a bit of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Knowing that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and comforted me.
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。
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the play, I headed home, rushing into the yard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said. Her soft voice eased my lingering sadness. I looked up, my eyes still wet, and saw no disappointment in her face — only warmth. That afternoon, we walked slowly through the yard, and she didn’t mention the play again. Instead, she gently touched a dandelion and said, “Even the smallest flower has a story worth telling.” On the night of the performance, I stood behind the curtain, my heart racing. But when the spotlight found me, I opened my mouth bravely, and every word came out clear and true.
After the play, I headed home, rushing into the yard. The dandelions were still there, glowing softly in the fading light. I knelt down and picked one carefully, my fingers trembling slightly — not from fear, but from something deeper. Holding it against my chest, I felt the same flutter I had felt on stage weeks ago. But now, like the flower in my hand, I stood firm. I walked inside, found an old jar, and placed the dandelion inside. Sealing the lid, I whispered to myself: Not every flower needs to be a rose to leave a mark on the world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以母亲的教育与“我”的成长为线索展开,讲述了“我”在学校戏剧表演中被从公主角色换为旁白员,母亲通过花园中蒲公英的比喻引导“我”认识到每个人都有自己的价值,最终“我”成功担任旁白并领悟到平凡也可以留下印记的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,本段可描写母亲对“我”的鼓励、“我”的心理变化以及最终登台表演的成功。
②由第二段首句内容可知,本段可描写“我”在院子中看到蒲公英感悟,以及将蒲公英作为纪念的举动,升华主题。
2. 续写线索:母亲安慰鼓励 → “我”重拾信心 → 登台表演成功 → 冲进院子 → 摘取蒲公英 → 感悟平凡的价值 → 珍藏蒲公英
3. 词汇激活
行为类:
减轻:ease → relieve/alleviate
低声说:whisper → murmur
情绪类:
悲伤:sadness → sorrow
心跳加速:my heart racing → my heart pounding

The International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) is a competition for pre-university students, held in a different country each year since 2003. It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you.
A Puzzle
The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations:
ბრაზილია Brazil
პერუ Peru
ურუგვაი Uruguay
Q: What is the English name of this country “არგენტინა”?
The Solution
·The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match.
·The repeated-U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right.
·“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: რ → R, ა → A, გ → G, ე → E.
·With these letters, the pattern არგენტინა can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina”.
Contest Rules
·Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins.
·The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less.

How can classic literary works stay lively in the digital age? A 17-year-old high school student from Chengdu, Sichuan, named Wu Yaduo, has found a wonderful way to answer this question.
Using her iPad and creative drawing skills, Wu turns stories from famous classics into hand-drawn animated (动画的) videos. These works include well-known books like A Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin and The Peony Pavilion, as well as life stories of famous poets such as Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. Her videos have won tens of thousands of followers online and got millions of views. Wu thinks these classics are timeless because they talk about human emotions and social themes that never go out of date.
However, she notices many students are not interested in these works just because they have to learn them for school. So Wu wants to bridge the gap between classics and modern life, making them more relatable and interesting for young people. Therefore, she usually chooses texts from her high school Chinese textbooks as the starting point.
In her creations, Wu combines text and sound cleverly. For example, one of her works about A Dream of Red Mansions was inspired by a sad song from an indie band (独立乐队). She drew the flourishing Daguanyuan, or the Grand View Garden, and the sad scene of the family’s downfall at the same time to create a strong emotional impact. Unlike traditional story-telling, her videos are full of bright colors and appealing visual effects, as she loves experimental movies and artworks.
Though Wu has received much support, she feels sorry that she can’t perfectly turn the images in her mind into drawings. But she still looks forward to creating more works to bring classics closer to daily life.
4. What do we know about Wu Yaduo’s animated videos of classic works?
A. She pays more attention to sound than visuals.
B. She depends on traditional tools to make the videos.
C. She takes band songs as her only creative inspirations.
D. She uses digital tools and drawing skills to show classics.
5. Why does Wu Yaduo use materials from Chinese textbooks in her works?
A. To choose the easiest content for animations.
B. To arouse students’ interest in classic literary works.
C. To show the importance of classics in school education.
D. To help students finish Chinese learning tasks more easily.
6. Which of the following best describes Wu Yaduo’s animated videos?
A. Creative and lively. B. Plain and thoughtful.
C. Serious and traditional. D. Popular and comic.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Digital technology brings traditional literature into daily life.
B. A student gains online popularity by creating digital videos.
C. Many modern students show little interest in classic literature.
D. A student makes hand-drawn animations to link classics with youth.
C
Some are taking up knitting (编织). Others are growing flowers or going fishing. These days, such hobbies are no longer old-fashioned. For Gen Z has decided that the pastimes of retired people are rather pleasing.
According to Eventbrite, a global events marketplace, baking and bingo are on the rise. In Britain attendance at flower-arranging classes almost increased four times between 2023 and 2025; in America there were two and a half times more puzzle competitions.
“Grannycore” — as youngsters call the trend as the traditional art taste — is not limited to entertainment. Gen Zers respect their elders’ taste in home decoration and fashion. Some are even holidaying like old people: Gen Z and millennials (千禧一代) are just as enthusiastic about cruises (游轮度假) as retirees, according to the Cruise Lines International Association. On TikTok youngsters were against the idea that “cruises are for old people” and say they are “the most convenient way to travel”
Why do the young seem so old at heart? Gen Z “really embraces the old things” and wants to experience things “they never got to experience”, says Rudi Greenberg, Eventbrite’s head of management and trends. Psychologists call such desiring “anemoia”: in an era of flashy screens and endless apps, youngsters look through rose-colored glasses at such dull things as repairing an old pair of socks, or meeting weekly to craft or embroider (刺绣).
Martina Vintaloro, the founder of London Creative Gals, notes that 90% of attendees come alone to meet “like-minded girls”. On a recent mid-week evening they were longing to get off their phones, gathered to paint pottery, many slowly enjoying soft drinks not wines.
In such environments, socialising can feel “slower, a little more grounded”, argues Mr Greenberg, perhaps a reminder of “conversations with your Grandma”. The hobbies can also improve well-being: “Happiness from One Stitch (针) at a Time”, a course run by psychologists, praises the healing advantages of knitting. As one fan of the old-timey trend recently put it: “Grandmas’ ideas actually make sense.”
8. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. “Grannycore” has become a worldwide fashion trend.
B. Statistical evidence proves the rise of old-style hobbies.
C. Eventbrite is committed to promoting traditional pastimes.
D. British and American youth share the same hobby preferences.
9. What does the underlined word “anemoia” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A desire for past experiences one has never had.
B. A protest to modern digital technology.
C. A love for traditional handmade activities.
D. A preference for elders’ decoration and fashion.
10. Why do members of London Creative Gals enjoy craft gatherings?
A. To keep up with the latest “Grannycore” fashion.
B. To learn professional crafting skills from experts.
C. To completely stay away from social media pressures.
D. To make like-minded friends and seek mental relaxation.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Cruises are less appealing to retirees than Gen Z.
B. Gen Z has given up using digital devices entirely.
C. Traditional hobbies help promote Gen Z’s mental well-being.
D. “Grannycore” only covers entertainment and fashion fields.

When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets.
Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective.
To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow”, in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100,000 times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds.
According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably (可持续地), especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology.
12. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve?
A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The lack of clean electricity sources.
C. The inefficiency of charge harvesting. D. The damage of traditional hydropower.
13. Which of the following best shows “plug flow”?

Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
____16____ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write continuously for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay relaxed and free. ____17____ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
Write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ____18____ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱的) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle — as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
Print out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ____19____ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their drafts and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text to triple-space. ____20____
A. Try non-stop writing.
B. Practice quiet writing.
C. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
D. The second draft of the essay should be better.
E. The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
F. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
G. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.

Mother’s gift
I grew up in a small town where it was a ten-minute walk from my house to the primary school. When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.
When I was in the third grade, I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped on the stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白员的) part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with a bit of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Knowing that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and comforted me.
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。
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the play, I headed home, rushing into the yard.
