Nearby Hotels
If you are travelling from out of town, several comfortable hotels sit within easy reach of the arena. Right across the street, the Harbour View Hotel offers bright rooms and a rooftop café. About a mile away, the cosy Maple Inn is popular with families for its friendly service and free breakfast. For a touch of luxury, the Grand Plaza, a short taxi ride away, boasts a swimming pool and a fine restaurant — perfect for turning a game day into a relaxing weekend treat.
Getting There and Parking
The arena is only a ten-minute walk from Central Station, and several buses stop right outside the main gate. If you drive, remember that you must park in the zone printed on your colour-coded ticket; entering through the wrong gate means being turned away, so do plan ahead. Download your parking pass to your phone before you arrive, and our staff will then guide you straight to a space. To park beside friends, make sure everyone books the very same zone — spaces simply cannot be saved.

B
After working as an engineer for over thirty years, Mr. Reed had looked forward to a quiet retirement of fishing and long walks. Then one evening he read a story about a boy who had been born without fingers on one hand, and he could not get the child out of his mind.
Mr. Reed knew that ready-made artificial hands often cost thousands of yuan, far beyond what many families could afford. But he also knew something else: a 3D printer could shape strong plastic parts for a tiny fraction of that price. Quietly, in his garage, he set to work. He had no training in medicine, only a lifetime of solving difficult problems.
It took dozens of failed attempts before his first hand actually worked. The fingers had to bend when the wrist moved, and every joint had to be both light and firm. Night after night he adjusted the design, printed new parts, and tried again, refusing to be beaten by a stubborn problem. His wife often found him still bent over his workbench long after midnight.
When he finally fitted that first colourful hand onto the boy who had inspired him, the child's eyes lit up as he picked up a ball for the very first time. Word soon spread, and requests began to arrive from across the country. Mr. Reed has since made dozens of hands, and he has never charged a single yuan.
People often ask him why he gives away so much of his time and skill. He simply says that an engineer spends a lifetime solving problems, and he can think of no problem more worth solving than putting a smile on a child's face. In his hands, cold machines have become warm gifts of hope.
24. What made Mr. Reed start his project?
A. A request from a local hospital.
B. His own love of using machines.
C. A prize offered by his company.
D. A story about a boy without fingers.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly show?
A. His patience and persistence.
B. The printer broke down often.
C. The boy helped him design it.
D. The parts were very expensive.
26. Why does the writer mention the ball?
A. To prove the hand was a toy.
B. To show the joy the hand brought.
C. To explain how the hand was made.
D. To compare prices of the hands.
27. What can we learn from Mr. Reed's story?
A. Retirement is best spent quietly resting at home.
B. Machines matter far more than people do.
C. Skills mean most when used to help others.
D. Talent by itself always brings great wealth.
C
It is easy to throw away a half-eaten sandwich or a bag of soft vegetables without a second thought. Yet around the world, roughly a third of all the food we produce is never eaten. The scale of this waste is hard to picture, and its cost is far greater than most of us realise. If wasted food were a country, scientists say, it would be one of the world's largest sources of harmful gases.
Wasting food means wasting everything used to make it. Behind every discarded meal lie the water, the land, the labour and the fuel that brought it to the table. When that food then rots in landfills, it gives off gases that warm the planet. Every wasted apple or slice of bread, then, carries a hidden price the receipt never shows. In other words, the food we bin harms our pockets and our environment at the same time.
The problem is not only a matter for farmers or shops. Studies show that much of the waste happens in ordinary homes, where we buy more than we need, forget what is in the fridge, and toss out anything past its best. Small daily habits, repeated by millions, add up to mountains of waste. What feels like a harmless act at home becomes an enormous problem once it is multiplied across a whole city.
The good news is that the same habits can be changed. Planning meals before shopping, storing food properly, and treating dates on packets as a guide rather than a strict rule can all make a real difference. Leftovers, far from being rubbish, can become tomorrow's lunch. A little planning today can save both money and the planet tomorrow.
None of this asks us to go hungry or to count every crumb. It simply asks us to value food a little more — to remember, each time we shop or cook, that what ends up in the bin once cost the earth a great deal to produce.
28. What point does paragraph 2 make?
A. Food tends to rot faster in the fridge.
B. Farmers waste far more food than we do.
C. Landfills are quickly running out of space.
D. Wasted food means wasted resources too.
29. What does the underlined word "bin" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Throw away. B. Cook again. C. Sell off. D. Store up.
30. Why does the writer point out that much waste happens in ordinary homes?
A. To blame families for being careless.
B. To show that ordinary people can help.
C. To prove shops waste no food at all.
D. To explain how to store food well.
31. What does the writer mainly call on us to do?
A. Stop buying any packaged food. B. Eat much less at every meal.
C. Value food and waste less of it. D. Grow all our own vegetables.
D
A forest can look like a crowd of trees standing alone, each competing with its neighbours for sunlight and water. For a long time, that is exactly how scientists saw it. Recent research, however, tells a far more surprising story. What looks like a silent competition may in fact be a web of quiet cooperation.
Beneath the forest floor, the roots of many trees are joined by a vast web of tiny threads. These threads belong to fungi, which wrap around the roots and link one tree to another. Through this hidden network — sometimes called the wood-wide web — trees can actually pass things back and forth. Scientists revealed this by feeding one tree a special form of carbon and later finding it inside its neighbours.
What they share is remarkable. A large, healthy tree may send sugar through the network to a younger one struggling in the shade. When insects attack, a damaged tree can send out chemical signals that warn its neighbours to prepare their defences. In this way, a forest behaves less like a group of rivals and more like a connected community. Older trees, sometimes called mother trees, seem to play a central role, supporting the young saplings around them.
Scientists are still debating just how far this cooperation goes, and not everyone agrees on the details. Even so, the discovery has changed the way many people look at forests. A tree, it turns out, is never truly alone; it lives and grows as part of something much larger than itself. Cut down too many of these connectors, and the whole network may begin to fall apart.
There may be a lesson here for us as well. The tallest tree in the forest owes its height not only to its own roots, but to the quiet network that supports it. Perhaps strength, in nature as in life, comes less from standing apart than from staying connected. It is a quiet reminder that no living thing truly thrives entirely on its own.
32. How are many trees in a forest connected?
A. By their branches touching above.
B. By seeds carried in the wind.
C. By rivers running underground.
D. By a web of fungi around their roots.
33. What can trees do through the network?
A. Share sugar and warn of danger.
B. Move closer to the sunlight.
C. Grow new roots overnight.
D. Drive insects away by force.
34. What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph?
A. The tallest trees need no help at all.
B. Strength can come from staying connected.
C. Forests should be left quite untouched.
D. People cannot learn much from nature.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Tallest Trees on Earth. B. How Fungi Harm Our Forests.
C. A Forest That Works Together. D. Why Trees Compete for Light.
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。
Many students believe that the secret to good grades is simply spending more hours at the desk. Yet some of the busiest students are not the most successful. ___36___ The truth is that how we study matters far more than how long. Once we accept this, studying becomes less about endurance and more about strategy.
Test yourself instead of just reading. ___37___ Reading a page over and over feels productive, but it often fools us into thinking we know more than we do. Closing the book and trying to recall the main points forces the brain to work, and that effort is what makes learning last. Each small self-test, in a way, is a rehearsal for the real one.
___38___ Studying one subject for hours can leave the mind dull and tired. Switching between related topics, or taking short breaks to move around, keeps your attention fresh and actually helps the ideas settle.
Sleep is part of studying, too. ___39___ While you rest, your brain quietly sorts and stores what you learned during the day. A single good night's sleep before a test will serve you far better than hours of anxious last-minute cramming. No amount of late-night effort can replace what a rested brain does for free.
Finally, study with a clear purpose. ___40___ Before you begin, decide exactly what you want to understand by the end. A focused hour aimed at a real goal is worth more than a whole afternoon of aimless page-turning. Knowing why you are studying turns dull repetition into real progress.
A. Working hard, it seems, is not the same as working well.
B. Trying to remember is far more useful than rereading.
C. Your brain does much of its best work while you sleep.
D. Variety can keep your mind sharper than long, fixed hours.
E. A goal turns study time into real, measurable progress.
F. The more subjects you study at once, the better.
G. Buying new study tools is the surest way to improve.

A new exchange student named Mira had just joined our class from another country. From the very first day, she seemed unusually ___41___ , sitting by herself and rarely speaking to anyone. At lunch, she always sat ___42___ in a corner of the dining hall. She ate quickly, her eyes fixed on the table, as if hoping no one would notice her.
One day, I ___43___ her sitting alone again, staring at her untouched food. Something made me want to help, so I walked over and decided to ___44___ her. At first she looked a little ___45___ , unsure of what I wanted. For a moment I wondered whether I should simply walk away.
But when I greeted her with a warm ___46___ , she returned one of her own. A few simple words ___47___ the silence between us. Bit by bit, over the following days, Mira began to ___48___ to me, talking about the ___49___ she had left behind and the friends she missed. Her voice was soft, yet her words painted a home thousands of miles from ours.
The next morning, I ___50___ her to my own friends, and we invited her to join our games. Before long, Mira felt truly ___51___ in our class, laughing and chatting like everyone else. It was as if a window had finally opened in a room that had been shut for too long. One small act, I realised, had ___52___ everything for her.
For the first time, I truly understood the power of ___53___ . Everyone longs to ___54___ somewhere, and to make another person feel accepted often takes no more than a single ___55___ — the courage to reach out first. And that single step, I have come to believe, can change more than we imagine.

In the past, the Great Wall served ___61___ a line of defence, protecting the country from attacks in the north. ___62___ (gradual), it has become far more than a wall. It now stands as a proud symbol ___63___ the Chinese nation and its long history. It reminds the Chinese people of their courage and unity.
Every year, millions of visitors from ___64___ (variety) countries climb the wall to enjoy the breathtaking view. Standing on the wall, one cannot help but feel a deep sense of wonder. To protect this ancient treasure ___65___ (be) the responsibility of us all.

The mid-term results were posted on a Monday morning, and my name sat far lower on the list than it ever had before. I stared at the number beside it, my face burning, while my classmates chattered around me. I had always told myself that I could catch up later, that there was still plenty of time. Now that comforting lie had crumbled before my eyes, and there was nowhere left to hide.
The truth was harder to face. For weeks I had put off my homework, spending my evenings scrolling endlessly on my phone and promising to start "tomorrow". Tomorrow had finally arrived, and it had brought this. I had no one to blame for the result but myself. That afternoon, my teacher, Mr. Lin, called me quietly to his office. My heart sank as I walked down the long, silent corridor, certain a scolding was waiting.
He did not shout or lecture. He simply looked at me and said, "You are not lacking in ability, Daniel. You are only lacking a plan." His words were gentle, but they struck me harder than any scolding could have. I realised, with a sting of shame, that he was exactly right. For the first time, I saw clearly how my own habits had let me down. I had blamed bad luck and hard questions, when the real problem had sat at my own desk every night.
Walking home that evening, I felt a strange mix of shame and determination rising inside me. The easy excuses I had relied on for so long suddenly seemed worthless. Something, I knew, had to change — and this time, it had to be me. For the first time in months, I felt ready to stop making excuses and start making changes. The road ahead felt long, but for once I was not afraid of the work it would take.
Determined to turn things around, I sat down that night and made a plan.
Slowly but surely, my efforts began to pay off.

After working as an engineer for over thirty years, Mr. Reed had looked forward to a quiet retirement of fishing and long walks. Then one evening he read a story about a boy who had been born without fingers on one hand, and he could not get the child out of his mind.
Mr. Reed knew that ready-made artificial hands often cost thousands of yuan, far beyond what many families could afford. But he also knew something else: a 3D printer could shape strong plastic parts for a tiny fraction of that price. Quietly, in his garage, he set to work. He had no training in medicine, only a lifetime of solving difficult problems.
It took dozens of failed attempts before his first hand actually worked. The fingers had to bend when the wrist moved, and every joint had to be both light and firm. Night after night he adjusted the design, printed new parts, and tried again, refusing to be beaten by a stubborn problem. His wife often found him still bent over his workbench long after midnight.
When he finally fitted that first colourful hand onto the boy who had inspired him, the child's eyes lit up as he picked up a ball for the very first time. Word soon spread, and requests began to arrive from across the country. Mr. Reed has since made dozens of hands, and he has never charged a single yuan.
People often ask him why he gives away so much of his time and skill. He simply says that an engineer spends a lifetime solving problems, and he can think of no problem more worth solving than putting a smile on a child's face. In his hands, cold machines have become warm gifts of hope.

B. Farmers waste far more food than we do.
C. Landfills are quickly running out of space.
D. Wasted food means wasted resources too.

A. Throw away.
B. Cook again.
C. Sell off.
D. Store up.
【答案】A 【解析】根据划线词所在处“the food we bin harms our pockets and our environment”及上文丢弃食物、食物在垃圾场腐烂可知,bin 作动词意为“扔掉”。其余选项分析:cook again(重新烹饪)、sell off(卖掉)、store up(储存)都与“丢弃”的语境不符。故选A。
30. Why does the writer point out that much waste happens in ordinary homes?
A. To blame families for being careless.
B. To show that ordinary people can help.
C. To prove shops waste no food at all.
D. To explain how to store food well.

31. What does the writer mainly call on us to do?
A. Stop buying any packaged food.
B. Eat much less at every meal.
C. Value food and waste less of it.
D. Grow all our own vegetables.

【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文,介绍森林中树木通过地下真菌网络分享养分、传递信号的“树联网”,启发我们重新认识合作与森林。
32. How are many trees in a forest connected?
A. By their branches touching above.
B. By seeds carried in the wind.
C. By rivers running underground.
D. By a web of fungi around their roots.
【答案】D 【解析】根据第二段“the roots of many trees are joined by a vast web of tiny threads ... belong to fungi”可知,树木通过根部周围的真菌网络相连。其余选项分析:并非靠树枝相触、种子随风传播或地下河流相连,均与原文不符。故选D。
33. What can trees do through the network?
A. Share sugar and warn of danger.
B. Move closer to the sunlight.
C. Grow new roots overnight.
D. Drive insects away by force.
【答案】A 【解析】根据第三段大树向幼树输送糖分、受害树木释放化学信号警示邻树可知,树木能通过网络共享养分并预警危险。其余选项分析:并非移向阳光、一夜长出新根,也不是用武力驱虫,均与原文相悖。故选A。
34. What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph?
A. The tallest trees need no help at all.
B. Strength can come from staying connected.
C. Forests should be left quite untouched.
D. People cannot learn much from nature.
【答案】B 【解析】根据末段最高的树靠的不仅是自身的根,更是支撑它的网络,及“strength ... comes less from standing apart than from staying connected”可推知,力量常源于彼此相连。其余选项分析:高树无需帮助、森林应原封不动、人无法向自然学习,均与作者意图相悖。故选B。
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Tallest Trees on Earth.
B. How Fungi Harm Our Forests.
C. A Forest That Works Together.
D. Why Trees Compete for Light.
【答案】C 【解析】全文围绕树木通过地下网络分享养分、传递信号、像一个相连的群落般合作展开,故最佳标题为“一片彼此协作的森林”。其余选项分析:地球上最高的树、真菌如何危害森林、树木为何争光,均与主旨不符或与文意相悖。故选C。
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。
Many students believe that the secret to good grades is simply spending more hours at the desk. Yet some of the busiest students are not the most successful. ___36___ The truth is that how we study matters far more than how long. Once we accept this, studying becomes less about endurance and more about strategy.
Test yourself instead of just reading. ___37___ Reading a page over and over feels productive, but it often fools us into thinking we know more than we do. Closing the book and trying to recall the main points forces the brain to work, and that effort is what makes learning last. Each small self-test, in a way, is a rehearsal for the real one.
___38___ Studying one subject for hours can leave the mind dull and tired. Switching between related topics, or taking short breaks to move around, keeps your attention fresh and actually helps the ideas settle.
Sleep is part of studying, too. ___39___ While you rest, your brain quietly sorts and stores what you learned during the day. A single good night's sleep before a test will serve you far better than hours of anxious last-minute cramming. No amount of late-night effort can replace what a rested brain does for free.
Finally, study with a clear purpose. ___40___ Before you begin, decide exactly what you want to understand by the end. A focused hour aimed at a real goal is worth more than a whole afternoon of aimless page-turning. Knowing why you are studying turns dull repetition into real progress.
A. Working hard, it seems, is not the same as working well.
B. Trying to remember is far more useful than rereading.
C. Your brain does much of its best work while you sleep.
D. Variety can keep your mind sharper than long, fixed hours.
E. A goal turns study time into real, measurable progress.
F. The more subjects you study at once, the better.
G. Buying new study tools is the surest way to improve.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍如何更聪明(而非更辛苦)地学习。
【答案】A 【解析】空前说最忙的学生未必最成功,空后说学习方法比时长更重要。A 项“努力似乎不等于会学”承上启下,故选A项。
【答案】B 【解析】空前要求“自我检测而非只读”,空后说反复读会造成错觉、合上书回想才有效。B 项“努力回想远比重读有用”与之呼应,故选B项。
【答案】D 【解析】段首空。空后说长时间学一科会使人疲钝、应交替学习并短暂休息。D 项“变化能让头脑比长时间固定学习更敏锐”作主题句,故选D项。
【答案】C 【解析】空前说睡眠也是学习的一部分,空后说休息时大脑整理储存所学。C 项“大脑很多最佳工作是在睡眠中完成的”衔接,故选C项。
【答案】E 【解析】空前说要带着明确目的学习,空后说开始前先定好要弄懂什么。E 项“目标把学习时间变成真实可见的进步”点题,故选E项。
【干扰项】F、G 借用 subjects、tools 等词似是而非:F“一次同时学的科目越多越好”与全文“专注、交替而非贪多”的主张相悖;G“买新的学习工具才是最稳妥的提高办法”把学习简单化,放入任一空都逻辑不接,故排除。

A new exchange student named Mira had just joined our class from another country. From the very first day, she seemed unusually ___41___ , sitting by herself and rarely speaking to anyone. At lunch, she always sat ___42___ in a corner of the dining hall. She ate quickly, her eyes fixed on the table, as if hoping no one would notice her.
One day, I ___43___ her sitting alone again, staring at her untouched food. Something made me want to help, so I walked over and decided to ___44___ her. At first she looked a little ___45___ , unsure of what I wanted. For a moment I wondered whether I should simply walk away.
But when I greeted her with a warm ___46___ , she returned one of her own. A few simple words ___47___ the silence between us. Bit by bit, over the following days, Mira began to ___48___ to me, talking about the ___49___ she had left behind and the friends she missed. Her voice was soft, yet her words painted a home thousands of miles from ours.
The next morning, I ___50___ her to my own friends, and we invited her to join our games. Before long, Mira felt truly ___51___ in our class, laughing and chatting like everyone else. It was as if a window had finally opened in a room that had been shut for too long. One small act, I realised, had ___52___ everything for her.
For the first time, I truly understood the power of ___53___ . Everyone longs to ___54___ somewhere, and to make another person feel accepted often takes no more than a single ___55___ — the courage to reach out first. And that single step, I have come to believe, can change more than we imagine.

Dear Chris,
I was glad to hear that our English club is making a short video about our school life, and I would like to share a suggestion and offer some help.
Why not include a few interviews with students from different grades? Hearing classmates talk about their favourite moments in their own words would make the video lively and real, and help viewers feel the warm atmosphere of our school.
What's more, I would love to take charge of writing the English subtitles. As I enjoy writing and have a good command of English, I am confident I can make the lines accurate and natural.
I hope my ideas are helpful. Please let me know if I can do anything else.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
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。
The mid-term results were posted on a Monday morning, and my name sat far lower on the list than it ever had before. I stared at the number beside it, my face burning, while my classmates chattered around me. I had always told myself that I could catch up later, that there was still plenty of time. Now that comforting lie had crumbled before my eyes, and there was nowhere left to hide.
The truth was harder to face. For weeks I had put off my homework, spending my evenings scrolling endlessly on my phone and promising to start "tomorrow". Tomorrow had finally arrived, and it had brought this. I had no one to blame for the result but myself. That afternoon, my teacher, Mr. Lin, called me quietly to his office. My heart sank as I walked down the long, silent corridor, certain a scolding was waiting.
He did not shout or lecture. He simply looked at me and said, "You are not lacking in ability, Daniel. You are only lacking a plan." His words were gentle, but they struck me harder than any scolding could have. I realised, with a sting of shame, that he was exactly right. For the first time, I saw clearly how my own habits had let me down. I had blamed bad luck and hard questions, when the real problem had sat at my own desk every night.
Walking home that evening, I felt a strange mix of shame and determination rising inside me. The easy excuses I had relied on for so long suddenly seemed worthless. Something, I knew, had to change — and this time, it had to be me. For the first time in months, I felt ready to stop making excuses and start making changes. The road ahead felt long, but for once I was not afraid of the work it would take.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文(第一人称),讲述“我”在一次重要考试失利后痛下决心、改变拖延习惯、最终实现自我成长的经历。
【写作思路】第一段紧承首句一“下定决心、制订计划”:具体写“我”如何调整作息与学习方式(如列计划、远离手机、专注当下),以及初期的困难与坚持;第二段紧承首句二“努力见到成效”:写成绩与状态的好转、心态的转变与收获,结尾点明“自律带来成长”的感悟。注意:保持第一人称与一般过去时一致,情感由低落到振奋层层递进;做到第一段结尾与第二段开头衔接、第二段结尾呼应“自我改变、收获成长”的主旨。
Possible Version(约180词)
Determined to turn things around, I sat down that night and made a plan. I wrote out a simple timetable, setting fixed hours for study and rest, and promised myself to finish each day's work before touching my phone. To resist temptation, I left it in another room while I studied. The first few evenings were hard; my hand kept reaching for a screen that was no longer there, and old excuses whispered in my ear. But every time I remembered Mr. Lin's quiet words, I forced myself back to my desk and kept going, one page at a time.
Slowly but surely, my efforts began to pay off. The lessons that had once seemed a blur started to make sense, and I found myself raising my hand in class again. When the next exam came, my name had climbed back up the list — not to the very top, but far higher than before. What pleased me most, however, was not the mark itself but the calm, steady person I was becoming. I had learned that ability means little without discipline, and that the hardest person to manage, yet the most worth changing, is always oneself.
【详解】
1. 词汇积累:
下定决心的:determined → resolved
抵制:resist → fight against
诱惑:temptation → urge
见成效:pay off → succeed
