"In difficult times,one focuses on self-development;after achieving success,one brings it to all.” Since ancient times,many have taken it as their philosophy (of life.Tang poet Li Bai,for example,achieved great success with his poems and hoped to serve the country through a government job.Though he was not valued by the emperor,his life still reflected Mengzi's words.(Tam) "Time flies by like a quick look of a white horse running past a crack(in ag wall. The saying comes from the book Zhuangzi.In this book,it is said that Kongzi came to Laozi to ask about the ultimate truth of the world.Laozi replied that a person's life was like a quick look of a white horse running past a crack in a wall.To me,this saying reminds me of the importance of time.(Li Xin) My favorite saying means that to do too much of something is as bad as not to do enough.I read it in a story about a carpenter ()To show his skill,he once made the table legs too thin,and another time too thick,but neither succeeded.Only after his master's guidance did he understand this truth.I learned it the hard way,too.Once I wanted to lose a few kilos for a big party,so I didn't eat enough and exercised all the time.In the end,I got really sick and couldn't get up!(Cindy) 第3页/共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 26.Which writing skill is used in Part 1?

B.A gentleman is not a tool used for a special purpose. C.What you do not want done to yourself,do not do to others. D.When I walk along with two others,they may serve me as my teachers. 28.In which part of the online newspaper can we read the material? A.YOUR WORDS. B.TECH TALK.C.ANIMAL WORLD. D.SCHOOL TIME. B DSitting through a family dinner,your uncle suddenly starts talking about different topics like an expert( )But everything he knows is from TikTok.After exams,one classmate is sure to do well.But he ends up with far lower marks than expected.Sounds familiar?This kind of behavior is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. 2In 1995,a man named Wheeler robbed a bank with lemon juice on his face.He believed it would make him not be seen.This story inspired two psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger to do some experiments.They asked people to tell how well they did in certain tasks.The results showed people with poor skills often thought they did much better than they actually did.They failed to see their own shortcomings,which made them too confident. 3Later,people used a simple graph(to show this effect.It clearly tells us the link between our actual knowledge and our self-confidence.When we know very little about something,our confidence rises to quite a high point.We may even believe we know everything.Digging deeper,we begin to realize how difficult the topic truly is,and our confidence drops.At this point,we start questioning ourselves.Only when we keep learning can our ability and confidence rise in a healthy way. This is not just a psychological phenomenon()for strangers or uncles at dinner-it is a mistake that everyone may easily fall into.Have you ever laughed at your classmates'mistakes without realizing your own? Have you ever tumed a deaf ear to others'advice because you thought you knew better?Have you ever felt fully prepared,only to be shocked by the final result?If so,you are having it too. 5Dear graduates of 2026,as you are stepping into senior high and then a wider world,remember that real growth lies in the courage to be modest.Always remember to learn,feel,and listen,and you will surely shine brighter in the years ahead.

A."I'm not sure.You'd better go and ask a teacher about this." B."Oranges are good for the skin?Let's check more articles." C."This accident has many causes.I may not know the truth." D."This war would end fast if they just listened to me." 30.What do the experiments by Dunning and Kruger show? 第4页/共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP A.Most people can see their shortcomings,more or less B.Less skilled people often think highly of themselves. C.A person can tell how well he or she finishes a task. D.Lemon juice doesn't work for hiding people's bodies. 31.Who is most likely to be at Point D in the graph?

C 1When you travel,do you map out every site ahead of time and stick to the plan,making sure you don't miss anything?Or do you only make simple preparations and then do whatever you feel like during the trip?The difference being considered is that between planning and spontaneity ) 2Some may argue strongly that a well-structured plan is the safer,more trustworthy way.Others hold that spontaneity,with its openness to surprise,is the truer way to experience life.The answer,I suppose,is that neither is always better.It depends on the situation,and more importantly,on what we hope to get out of it. 3The same activity can call for different ways depending on its purpose.When launching a spacecraft into space,careful planning is beyond question,for a mistake could lead to disaster.But when playing football with children in the backyard,a strict game plan would feel out of place,for spontaneity allows the joy of the moment to take over. 4Both planning and spontaneity come with their own risks.Over-planning may cause us to focus so much on covering every detail that we forget to enjoy the experience itself.This can happen when we take too many pictures of famous sites,only to realize later that we never truly enjoy them.On the other hand,a willingness to "wing it"can sometimes turn small mistakes into costly ones.For example,an unplanned hike without enough water may turn a pleasant afternoon into a difficult one.Thus,neither way is always better.What matters is knowing the risks of each and choosing the one that fits the situation. 5Yet planning and spontaneity need not be opposites.Even in highly structured settings,there is room for the unplanned..A symphony orchestra(交响乐团)performs from written music,yet a conductor(指挥家)may make small changes to the way the music is played based on the feel of the moment.Jazz musicians,famous for their improvisation(即兴创作)，still begin with a basic structure..In both cases,.planning provides the base,.while spontaneity brings it to life. (6So,which is better?The question itself may be too simple.What matters is not choosing one over the other, but understanding when each is called for,and how they can work together.Realizing this allows us to make wiser decisions,but only when we are willing to look closely at our own choices and take responsibility for what we see. 33.Why does the writer mention two different examples in Paragraph 3? A.To stress that careful planning is necessary. B.To prove that spontaneity works better in daily life. C.To show that planning is more difficult than being spontaneous. D.To explain that the situation decides whether to plan or be spontaneous. 第5页/共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 3↓.What do the words“wing it'”in Paragraph4 most probably mean? A.Do things carelessly.

Tiegan breathed out heavily and went outside.It was a sunny day,and many people were outside.She sat on the sidewalk and looked around.Then she started to sing softly.She was careful to be quiet at first,but soon she began to sing loudly. The sun was very warm,and Tiegan took off her baseball cap.Now she could feel a cool soft wind across her forehead ()which felt nice.She dropped her hat on the sidewalk and kept singing. Just as Tiegan finished one of her favorite songs,a man with a small dog stopped in front of her,"That was a beautiful song,"he said.And he dropped a dollar into her hat. Before Tiegan could say anything,the man walked away with his dogs. Tiegan wasn't sure what to do with the dollar,but she did want to keep singing.As she started her next song, Mrs.Maudslay-Tiegan's neighbor came out of her house."Are you starting a new job,Tiegan?" “What do you mean?”asked Tiegan.T'm just playing and singing.” "Oh,"said Mrs.Maudslay."I thought maybe you were busking,since you have your hat out." "What's busking?"asked Tiegan. Mrs.Maudslay laughed quietly.People like to drop in a dollar or two to show that they liked the show.” Tiegan hadn't meant to start a new job,but since her hat was already out,she decided to keep singing.Soon enough,people walked past and stopped to listen.When they were ready to move on,they dropped some money into her hat. By the end of the afternoon,Tiegan's hat was full.Singing didn't feel like working,but she surprisingly had made enough money from it. 37.How did Tiegan feel when her dad asked her to go outside? A.Excited. B.Thankful. C.Unhappy.

During the Shang Dynasty,long forks were also used in the kitchen.However,at mealtimes,people still used the good old knife and their fingers.So when did chopsticks make(48) (they)way to the dining table? (49) irnd)out the answer,we need to fast-forward a thousand years or so,to around 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty. The Han people still ate millet().They made porridge from it,finding it hard to pick up with chopsticks, so chopsticks didn't become popular. As Han Dynasty expanded southwards,their diet began to change.The south was(50) (complete) suited to growing rice.In fact,rice was enough to provide the north as well.Also,East Asian rice is starchy and tends to stick together,which makes it very easy to pick up with a pair of chopsticks. At the same time,in the north,wheat became more common.More wheat meant less porridge and more noodles and dumplings.(51)eacourage)by the change in diet,the use of chopsticks became more popular.This period also saw the rise of stir-frying ()Food(52) (cut)into bite-sized pieces and then stir-fried,making it easier to pick up and eat with chopsticks.Since the Han Dynasty,chopsticks (53) (be)the main eating tool for most Chinese people.Even in the (54) (forty)of the 20th century,few eating tools ever challenged the widespread use of chopsticks in China. Confucius was one of those who strongly supported chopsticks.In his view,the knife was violent and barbaric (野蛮的)，and it did not belong to a(55)_, gentleman)table.He made such a big deal out of it that his followers recorded this in the Book of Rites(《礼记》) 五、短文填空（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式，使短 文通顺。 The gourd,called"hulu",is a special plant with a long history.At first,people used gourds as (56)t for carrying water and storing food,Later,gourds became important in traditions and stories.

In Peer Support,students help and listen to each other.The program trains a group of students to be listeners and guides.These peer supporters have the following qualities in common.they are usually patient,caring,and good at communicating.If a classmate's problem is too serious,the peer supporter will guide them to talk to a teacher or a parent. At many middle schools,peer supporters play an important role in helping lonely or struggling students fit in and seek help.Take 15-year-old Eric for example.He was a shy student who always sat alone in the classroom.He struggled with his math grades and was afraid to ask teachers for help,fearing he would be laughed at by other students."When I noticed his low spirits,I sat with him during lunch break and invited him to join a small study group,"said Sarah,his peer supporter in an interview."With sarah's gentle support,now I feel safe enough to share my trouble,"Eric added. This program benefits both sides.For students who need help,peer supporters offer a non-judgmental ear.It can reduce anxiety and loneliness quickly because talking to a friend often feels easier than talking to adults.For the peer supporters themselves,they learn to understand others'feelings and how to communicate effectively. Peer Support also changes the whole school atmosphere.When students see that their classmates care about them,the sense of community becomes stronger.Classrooms become warmer,and arguments are more likely to be solved peacefully Peer support programs prove that the most powerful help comes from a friend standing right beside you. 66.Why do some schools introduce Peer Support? 67.What are the peer supporters like? 68.How did Eric feel after getting Sarah's help? 69.According to the passage,what do peer supporters learn from the program? 70.Would you like to be a member of Peer Support?Why or why not?(请自拟一句话作答) 七、书面表达（本题共25分） “红军不怕远征难，万水千山只等闲”。从1936年到2026年，时光流转九十载，长征精神跨越时空， 激励我们攻坚克难、奋勇向前。这其中，“传承”二字发挥了不可磨灭的作用。同学们，初中三年的时光 里，你一定有过关于“传承”的难忘经历，可能是红色故事（精神）的讲述、传统文化的学习、家风家训的 践行等。学校英语校刊正在举办以The Power of Inheritance为题的征文活动，请你根据以下提示，写一篇 英语短文。 内容提示： 第9页/共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP (1)What experience of inheritance did you have in junior high school?
